No one interrogates other identities with the vitriol and defensiveness that they do the notion of "Asian Americans"--is it because we represent some kind of threat if we collaborate?

My issue is that my parents never emphasized the Filipino culture with me as I was growing up. What you mentioned in your article about immigrant parents working hard to make their children's lives easier was my parents driving force to succeed in a new world.

But then, in the middle of responding to Christabella and Mistermr, I realized that people like them just cannot be reasoned with.
